WANDLA can be upgraded with HYPSOS Hybrid Power System using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection, making both units perform to their highest levels. While WANDLA performs very good right out of the box, it is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS.
Using the FPL connection means HYPSOS can measure far deeper inside WANDLA than it can with any other product. Not only does HYPSOS work better in this combination, WANDLA will also perform even better than it normally does. The truly balanced design of the preamplifier stage coupled with the discrete IC power amplifier technology in combination with the implementation of highly selected components is elevated to a level of its own.

Our proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) cable is key in making the marriage of WANDLA with HYPSOS a happy one. Two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. This eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response. The current delivery speed at the powered device's input is significantly improved.
To get the most out the combination of WANDLA and HYPSOS you need to connect them with our proprietary FPL DC power cable. The cable is optionally available at your preferred dealer or in our webshop.
